Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) is a unique biological metabolite that is formed in the body after the consumption of ethanol, typically from drinking alcoholic beverages. Reported to be detectable in urine typically from 8-80 hours after ingestion, and 2-36 hours in blood EtG is detectable over a period roughly 5-6 times longer than traditional urine ethanol testing Detectable in oral fluid only a few hours longer than ethanol* EtG has also been isolated in hair follicles *G.Heiseth, B.

The Problem With the EtG Urine Test. The EtG test is sensitive to the presence of any alcohol, even low-levels, and can detect alcohol in the urine several days after consumption. But the test is so sensitive, it can produce a positive test for ethyl glucuronide from the mere exposure to alcohol that is present in many daily use products. The EtG test came under scrutiny when a significant number of people, who insisted they had abstained from drinking alcohol, failed the test.
